​One of the things we intend to do this year is to provide more information about the community and its surrounding area(s). We have received a few questions concerning housing, community areas, crime and what the future holds for the Hidden Valley Community. While we will not directly address those topics in this post, we have performed a Google search to see what others are saying about the area, to begin a conversation. It’s a good thing to take an assessment every now and then to see where you’ve been, and where you are

​In this post, we’ll take a look at a few resources that have information about how to live healthier. A healthy diet and exercise are very important components of a healthy lifestyle. And, it may not be as hard as you think to achieve.Two web sites that have a great deal of information about dietary care are:The CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention): https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/healthy_eating/# and;Health.gov (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion):https://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/ .

There is plenty of information there to assist with meal planning for you and the entire family. As usual, we encourage you to go there and research for yourself to discover what works best for you. As far as exercise goes, we’ll discuss that from a common-sense approach. Meaning, the first thing to realize is that being overweight didn’t happen overnight; but rather over a period of time. Having said that, we must also realize that the weight comes off the same way (over a period of time).

Garden Center Veterans Appreciation Service :On February 18th, we will be hosting a Veteran’s Appreciation service at Hidden Valley Elementary School. The service will begin at 10:00 am.
